Scope and content
Students from Washington School arrange food to be given away to needy families for Thanksgiving in 1937. The children created an attractive table, over-flowing with generous food baskets of apples, canned goods and other items. They also made scarecrows to add to their "harvest" display. The students are, left to right, Janice Johnson, Juanita Evans, Raymond Demorest (in white shirt), Richard Howson and Robert Sinclair (kneeling with hammer). The individual with curly hair behind the scarecrow was not identified. Similar food drives were being held at every school in Tacoma. It was estimated that schoolchildren in Tacoma would feed 200 families in need this holiday. (T.Times,11/23/37, p.16)
